Poverty in Washington.

There is a large class of men in Washington
who are in a most impecunious condition and
who make heavy drafts upon the purses and
patience of those with whom they manage to
become acquainted. Some have been TO
tated out of official duties, which has untitled
them for any other business Others imagine
that the party in power owes them an office
either at home or abroad and some have
claims which, if allowed, would make them
wealthy, but all wait, and it has been truth
fully said that they are getting "broker" and
@broker" every day. They sleep in cheap
lodgings, eat where it is convenient and drink
every time they are asked They are good
fellows for the most part, and they were once
respectable citizens at home, but they are
stuck fast in Washington and cannot get
away. They bear a worn and anxious cast of
face and only smile, as stated above, when in
vited Political cripples they are, waiting
for the waters Of Sloan TO be troubled, and
it viii be long time before their wants are
granted. Meanwhile they modeStly request
the loan of dollar until the first Of next
month. Denied, they ask for fifty cents-nay,
they will take quarter, and once had one
fall back on demand for horse car ticket
/ was afterward told that at neighboring
bar two horse car tickets were regarded as
equivalent for one dram of bad whisky. We

ON HELEN's CHEEK.

On Helen's cheek was once glow,
An arc of dreamland glimpsed below,
A silver purpled, peachy beauty
In tidal swayings to and fro.
o flush Of youth! outvelveting
The butterfly's Arabian wingl
The very argosies Of morning
Bear not from heaven so rich q thing.
On Helen's cheek springtide day,
Fragile and wonderful it lay;
From Helen's cheek these twenty summers
Child lips have kissed the bloom away.
Nay, Time, record it not so fast,
The reign OF roses overpast;
All victor pomps Of theirs encircle
A loyal woman to the last.
So true Of speech, of soul so free,
OF such nellowed blood is she,
That girlhood's vision, long evanjshed,
Rounds never to a memory.
No less in her Loves self describes.
Up trembling TO adoring eyes,
The sweet mirage of youth and beauty
On Helen's cheek forever lies.

It was o'clock a m, and Joe Fogarty,
the keeper of the Morgue, had just turned the
key in the lock Of his office door, when an
elderly man and two women crossed the green
extending between the Morgue and Bellevue
hospital The night previous the body Of a
well dressed young man had been brought to
the Morgue. 1t was a case of suicide and the
morning papers had long accounts Of the
young mans death, which, as well as his per-
sonality, were shrouded in mystery.
"Good morning, SIR" said one Of the
| women, who was young and progressing.
@You have here, l believe, the body Of g
young man who killed himself last night in
the - hotelp
Eyes, madam; would you like to see him!"
asked Joe.
@Yes; we came here for that purpose"
Joe led the way into the wooden shed called
the dead house, and lifting the cover from an
ordinary pine box exposed to view the body
Of the young man. The visitor looked at it in
silence for a moment, and then the young
| woman said, in the same matterof-fact tone
In which she might have remarked upon the
qualities of a picture:
GLOW beautiful he isl Seer pointing to a
small red spot near the left temple, "that is
where the bullet entered. Isn't its" she
asked, appealing to Joe.

to recognize him?"
8Oh, no. she returned; eve did not expect

do it! Do you suppose it was love AFFAIR.""
The young woman continued to rattle along
in a composed manner, while her parents ST.
lently inspected the body. They remained a
quarter of an hour, and by the time they
went away a number of other morbidly Gu
rious people had arrived. 1t was with diff
Guilty that Joe got rid Of them.

said Joe to reporter later in the day, "de-
